March 12 Ceramic Expertise in Action
March 12, 2026 marks the first International Day of Ceramics. At Nanostone, an Acuriant brand, ceramics form the foundation of our technology and the reason our customers achieve predictable performance under demanding and variable water conditions. Our ceramic ultrafiltration platform translates material science into reliable water treatment infrastructure used in critical applications worldwide.
On this date, we will host two focused online sessions. One explores ceramic engineering at the material level. The other brings field-proven experience from real water treatment projects.
Below choose the session that matches your interest.
Or attend both.

Session 1 of 2:
Ceramics in Society-Critical Water Applications
Date: March 12, 2026
Format: Live online webinars with Q&A
Duration: Approximately 45 minutes
14:00 Central European Time (CET, UTC+1)
Facilitated by Christian Göbbert, Chief Science Officer and Vice President of R&D, Acuriant
This session is designed for water treatment professionals, along with materials scientists, membrane engineers, academics, students, and technology professionals interested in how ceramic science translates into critical infrastructure.
Water treatment depends on materials that must perform consistently over decades. In this session, we examine how ceramic engineering moves from material structure to large-scale systems that protect public health and industrial continuity.
Christian Göbbert brings more than 20 years of membrane industry experience and long-term technology leadership. He joined Nanostone at its inception in 2012 and today leads science and R&D across Acuriant. He holds a PhD in materials science and began his career at ceramic membrane manufacturer ItN Nanovation.
What this session will cover:
• Why ceramics play a critical role in society-critical water treatment
• Monolith architecture and selective layer formation
• How material design determines membrane behaviour
• Mechanical and chemical stability under operational stress
• Long-term structural integrity and crack resistance


Session 2:
Ceramic UF in Practice for Water Professionals
Date: March 12, 2026
Format: Live online webinars with Q&A
Duration: Approximately 45 minutes
15:30 Central European Time (CET, UTC+1)
Facilitated by Barnaby Brampton and Mitchell Sijm, Nanostone Water.
This session is designed for operators, process engineers, EPCs, consultants, and water professionals responsible for specifying or running treatment systems.
Barnaby Brampton is a Senior Process Engineer at Nanostone Water and a Chartered Process Engineer. He manages projects, piloting, product development, and proposal activities focused on advanced water treatment systems.
Mitchell Sijm is Global Application Manager at Nanostone Water with 12 years of experience in ceramic ultrafiltration applications. He supports global projects across piloting, system design, process optimization, and integration of ceramic UF modules.
Together, they will present two distinct case studies that illustrate:
- Performance under challenging and variable feedwater conditions
- Behaviour during solids variability and cleaning cycles
- Footprint optimization in constrained environments
- Robustness beyond conventional UF
This session offers water professionals the opportunity to engage directly with engineers actively involved in ceramic UF projects worldwide.
